1. Larval stages captured from plankton in Chesapeake Bay were reared in the laboratory to and beyond metamorphosis and were determined to be those of the mud shrimp, Naushonia crangonoides, known as adults only from the area of Woods Hole.

2. The postlarval stage in Naushonia may be reached after six or seven zoeal stages. Descriptions and illustrations of the zoeal stages and the postlarva are presented.

3. Larvae are compared with others known for the genus and the Family Laomediidae and distinctive specific and generic characters are discussed.
